Werewolves of London
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

A curse has turned you into a werewolf, which is surely bad news for your employment and relationship prospects. The only way to rid yourself of the curse is to kill all the relatives of those who inflicted it. The more you kill, the more the police want to capture and jail you, but with the right equipment you can get out and continue your murderous rampage.

The game is an arcade adventure viewed at an angle. Collect as many objects as you can from people, including Underground tickets to get around London more quickly, torches and manhole cover removers to access and function in dark areas, and bandages to repair shot wounds. These objects can be stored for later use, even inside your jail cell.

Trivia

The Spectrum version appears to be impossible - many people have been unsuccessful in finding the 8th and final required victim. The game was left unfinished when Ariolasoft went bankrupt, and tidied up for release by other programmers, and this apparent bug may be a consequence of that

The film 'An American Werewolf In London' appears to have inspired the game. 

The title comes from a hit song by the late singer-songwriter Warren Zevon, which famously won a 2004 BBC poll to find the greatest ever opening lyrics:

 "I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand

 Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain

 He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's

 Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein"
